Chapter 14: Strange things happened on the way back, the terrifying red house

The banquet was delayed too late, and it was already around 3 p.m. Yi Chen left quickly with the Dragon Slaying Sword on his back. If he didn't leave quickly, he would not be able to return to the Hidden Dragon Temple before dark.

Before leaving the town, Yi Chen remembered that the two little cuties Qingfeng and Mingyue liked to eat candied haws, so he bought all the sticks from the candied haws vendor.

Just as he was about to walk out of the archway of Qingyuan Town with the stick in his hand, he happened to see an old friend. It was Ji Tuanlian, who was covered in the smell of plasters and had his hands wrapped in white gauze, which was probably broken.

"Ji Tuanlian, your injury is okay, right?" Yi Chen stopped and greeted him.

"Hey, it turns out to be Taoist Master Yichengzi. My left arm was injured by that zombie, and it's a little fractured. It will heal after a period of rest. It's not a big deal."

"Anyway, getting injured has been a common occurrence for me since I was a child. It's no big deal."

"I'm used to it. When I was a kid, I was kicked by a cow, chased by a wild boar in the mountains, and had leg cramps when I went swimming in the Qingshui River. But after I finally mastered the Fiery Heart Technique, these things have basically stopped happening."

Ji Tuanlian smiled brightly and cheerfully. Although he was short and middle-aged, he still smiled like a big boy even with gauze on his body.

At this time, a young man following Ji Tuanlian muttered in a low voice: "Boss, you were struck by lightning when it rained last year."

"You are the only one who talks too much." Ji Tuanlian couldn't help but scold.

Yi Chen: “…”

"Ji Tuanlian, the first time I met you, there was something I didn't know whether I should say or not."

"Master, don't worry, just tell me." Ji Tuanlian's eyes lit up. He felt that he had encountered a lot of bad luck since he was a child.

This Taoist Master Yi heard from his subordinates that they were good at calculations and figured out on the spot that the female zombie in red would appear near Mayor Wu's residence and intercepted her directly.

Now he still remembers Yi Chen's hesitant expression when he first met him. He thought that Taoist Yi must have seen something.

"Sure, sure."

"The Book of Changes says, one is destiny, two is luck, three is feng shui, four is accumulating good deeds, five is reading, six is ​​reputation, seven is appearance, eight is respecting gods, nine is making friends with noble people, and ten is maintaining health."

"If Ji Tuanlian trusts me, maybe you can try changing the name."

"Ji Boyang, this name is too big. I can grasp it, but I may not be able to grasp your fate."

"To be honest, Ji Tuanlian, I think the fact that you've been able to live this long is the result of your family's good deeds."

"Change your name and do more good deeds in the future, and I think things will improve."

Yi Chen laughed loudly, and without waiting for Ji Tuanlian to reply, he took the candied haws and carried the Dragon-Slaying Sword on his back, striding away from Qingyuan Town. Only a few Taoist songs were left echoing between heaven and earth.

A little bit of kindness can help others.

I advise you not to do even the slightest evil.

To deceive others is a disaster, to help others is a blessing.

The law of nature is clear and retribution is swift.

Listen carefully to my words, and the gods will admire and the ghosts will fear.

"This warning is very meaningful. Taoist priest, you are truly a great Taoist master." Looking at Yi Chen's receding back, Ji Tuanlian couldn't help but sigh.

He decided to change his name when he returned, changing the character Chang to Dan, and he thought that there would be no problem.

….. …..The Taoist song that Yi Chen recited before was the words of advice to the world by Lu Dongbin, the founder of Chunyang in his previous life. He didn’t remember many Taoist songs, and the more he memorized, the less songs he would recite.

Of course he would just pretend and run away, so that his image as a great master would not be ruined.

If you plan ahead, this kind of thing only needs to happen a few more times, and you can spread your reputation and establish yourself as a person, then everyone will call him a great man, and then you will make a lot of money in the future? If someone asks him to preside over a wedding or funeral in the future, and you only offer ten or twenty taels of silver, do you feel embarrassed?

You can't even open your mouth.

This approach is to empower, reorganize, transform value, strengthen cognition, refine, and influence, and become a leader in the high-end field of weddings and funerals.

He turned his influence as a Taoist master into brand value and made his name known. In the future, if the wealthy people in the surrounding area or even further away hold weddings or funerals without inviting Taoist Master Yichengzi of Yinlong Temple to come out and give a shout-out, they will be considered unworthy and unfilial if they do not invite him.

You will be ridiculed and mocked by the wealthy people in the same circle. This is the charm of building brand identity and telling good Taoist stories.

Some people are still stuck in the small circle of selling chicken by taking advantage of human weakness. How much money can they make by doing small things? Master Yi has already upgraded his vision to the track of building a personal brand and cultivating the market.

This is the pattern.

We will make money from whoever has money.

Once the brand image is fully established, the Taoist priest will earn at least 100,000 yuan for just one stand! How many King Chickens will have to be sold to make up for it?

….. …..The sun sets in the west, and the setting sun is blood-red.

Yi Chen walked while imagining a bright future. As time passed, the road became narrower and narrower, with dense forests growing on both sides of the mountain road.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud crash.

A sika deer jumped out from the left side of the dense forest, its hooves flying, and ran across the mountain path to the right side, running very fast as if it was running for its life.

Immediately afterwards, a yellow agile figure jumped out behind him. It turned out to be a spotted tiger. Perhaps it instinctively realized that Yi Chen was not easy to mess with, so the spotted tiger did not choose to stop and attack Yi Chen. Instead, it jumped with force, swung its tail, and chased after him.

Unfortunately, the tiger's tail, which was used to adjust its balance, swung and hit the stick that Yi Chen had stuck with candied haws on it, causing the candied haws to scatter all over the ground.

Yi Chen was stunned.

In the blink of an eye, his attention was distracted and the candied haws disappeared?

How could he explain this to the two cuties Qingfeng and Mingyue?

It is said that the eldest brother had bought some delicious food, but he encountered a tiger on the way and got knocked down. Is that all?

"Am I going to hit you? Don't run away."

"Cat, you have already received your death."

Yi Chen looked at the candied haws mixed with mud all over the ground, his face suddenly changed like a revolving lantern, he roared, a trace of light purple internal energy emerged from his body, and he followed closely into the dense forest.

Since his cultivation progressed greatly, he has never suffered such a big loss.

You've offended me and you still want to run away?

Although the candied haws were gone, Yi Chen clearly remembered that Qingfeng Mingyue particularly liked the orange cat.

Sometimes there are female devotees who come to Yinlong Temple with orange cats to burn incense. Qingfeng Mingyue will use her cuteness to get through and strike up a conversation with them, taking the opportunity to rub the cats a few times.

The leopard is also a cat, but this cat is a little bigger.

Since the candied haws are gone, we'll just knock out the tiger and capture it to take the blame.

The same cat-sucking.

This wild one is more powerful!

I think Qingfeng and Mingyue would like it.

The view is elevated and you can have a bird's eye view of the entire dense forest.

A strange scene appeared.

The sika deer was leading the way, followed closely by the leopard tiger, and Yi Chen was following behind the leopard tiger. The distance between the three was shortening.

Although Yi Chen is not as agile as a sika deer or a tiger, he has amazing strength, like a human bulldozer. He can go around the trees in front of him if he can, and if he really can't go around them, he will just slap a tree as thick as a bowl and break it.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

There was smoke and dust all along the way.

Relying on great strength to create miracles, he managed to close the distance between himself and the tiger.

Getting closer.

The distance between the two is getting closer.

A trace of white star flashed across Yi Chen's mouth.

But what he didn't notice was that a thin mist began to spread among the woods, and it became thicker as time went by.

It is thickening at an abnormal rate.

Snap!

The tiger finally caught up with the deer and struck it on the head with great force, breaking the deer's neck instantly.

At the same time, Yi Chen pushed the ground hard with his right foot, and the lavender pure yang internal energy gushed out explosively. He jumped high into the air and landed in front of the leopard tiger like a crow sitting on an airplane.

There were two crisp sounds, "Pia" and "Pia".

After the two big guys went around, the tiger vaguely saw his mother, and he saw people with double vision.

Then, its fate was strangled by a pair of big hands like a palm-leaf fan.

"The little guy is quite good at running."

"I'll beat you to death if you don't obey."

"I knocked over the Taoist's candied haws. Tell me how you're going to pay it back."

Yi Chen grinned grimly.

He has already figured out how to accommodate this leopard tiger. He will go back and train it well to get rid of its wildness. Then the Hidden Dragon Temple will have another powerful general, and its status will be taken to a higher level.

Just imagine, in the misty morning, with the morning light dim, a little Taoist child with red lips and white teeth is sitting upside down on the back of a tiger, coming out from the front yard of Yinlong Temple, with starlight shining on the Taoist child's face, and above his head is the gilded signboard of Yinlong Temple. How cool... I'll ask an artist to 'encounter' it and record it, hehe.

The world today is not like the past. There are many tigers, but there is no concept of animal protection.

Life is not easy, so it is reasonable for Hu Hu to perform to make a living.

What? You said wild animals are hard to tame? Learn more about tiger bone wine. Tiger skin, tiger penis and tiger meat are also in short supply. You can't lose money.

The tiger leaned against a big tree with its hind legs on the ground, trembling all over.

At this moment, the spread of the fog suddenly accelerated and became thicker.

Yi Chen finally felt something was wrong.

He also felt strange. As the king of beasts, why was this one such a coward? It just kept shaking. It should at least resist and move. It wasn't exciting at all.

He pinched the tiger's neck skin and looked around. The surrounding fog was swirling, and in front of him, a strange red house suddenly appeared.

Hiss! The moment Yi Chen saw this red old house, his hair stood up instantly, and a strange and eerie atmosphere spread.

He was 100% sure that he had never seen this old red house before.

Danger! Danger! Danger!

His intuition was sending out crazy warnings, and even the dormant lavender pure yang energy in his body began to become slightly active.

Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.

Yi Chen stared at the red old house in front of him with a solemn expression.

This was the first time he encountered such a strange thing. After all, he had been promoted twice in a row, his strength increased dramatically, and his mentality changed a little.

Lost the original awe and steadiness.

"People have become distracted. They have forgotten the truth that one should not enter a deep forest and that it is difficult to walk on the road at night." Yi Chen sighed.

He had a feeling that he was in serious trouble this time.

But there was no need to panic. Taoist Yi decided to fix the bug. He grabbed the tiger by the scruff of its neck and turned around to retreat.

Sure enough, the bug was failed, and the strange red house appeared in front of him again as if it was a shadow.

To the left, too.

To the right, too.

Hiss, so smart... (End of this chapter)
